[Alberg30] Anchor Rollers

[John Birch]

Hi Joe,

It is always preferable to take the load off the roller due to the cantilever factor. If rope, run it through the cocks with some hose as a chafe guard - if chain rode, use a length of nylon twist on a chain hook run through the chocks with about 4 or 5 ft of slack in the chain.

Cheers,

John

  When using an anchor roller, is it preferable to leave the rode passing 
  through the roller while at anchor, or to lead it back through the bow chocks 
  after setting the anchor?  I am concerned about chafe from the sides of the 
  roller (Windline URM-1) although the roller wheel seems like a great chafe 
  reducing factor. Your thoughts are appreciated. 
  Thanks,
